ABOUT LARISA KRIVCHIKOVA-KARKAFI
I’m a scholar and educator focused on language acquisition, Slavic literature, history, and culture. I hold a PhD in the field, but what truly drives me is helping students connect with stories, voices, and ideas that broaden how we see the world. As a lifelong language learner and polyglot, I’ve learned firsthand how words open doors—to people, places, and perspectives. I bring that sense of discovery into every class, blending careful scholarship with real-world context, curiosity, and an inclusive, welcoming approach. Whether we’re unpacking a poem, tracing a historical moment, or practicing conversation, my goal is to make learning engaging, rigorous, and meaningful. If you’re passionate about languages, culture, or global learning, I’d love to connect and continue the conversation.
